Anyone that finds this interesting that hasn't already should read up on the MISTer project. It uses the Altera DE10-Nano FPGA dev board that allows it to run a very large number of retro computers, consoles, and arcade machines.
The project created a framework to standard a way to load different FPGA cores, and how IO works. This makes trying out a new system as easy to drag and dropping a compiled core and a disk image on an SD card or network share and you are up and running versus dealing with re-imaging SD cards for each system.
